http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?hlid=424234 Leeds complete a Wise move By Phil Jackson - Created on 24 Oct 2006 Dennis Wise and his assistant Gus Poyet have been confirmed as the new management team at Leeds United. The ex-Chelsea duo have linked up with chairman Ken Bates after a successful start to the season with Swindon Town. They have built on a solid foundation at the County Ground and have given the club a real chance of promotion. But the dream offer of a Championship club like Leeds, was too good for Wise to turn down, and though there had been some financial wranglings between the two parties, the Elland Road board have concluded an agreement with the League Two side. "A compensation package has been agreed between the two clubs and Swindon Town have placed on record their thanks to Leeds United for the professional manner in which they made their approaches," a club statement read. "Dennis will take over as manager of the club from Wednesday October 25 and will be assisted by Gus. Andrew [Beasley] joins us as a goalkeeping coach with immediate effect." Wise is already understood to have met with the players at training on Tuesday and will get his first look at his new team in their Carling Cup third round game at home to Southend United. Pre-empting the announcement, Bates discussed the appointments in his programme notes for the match. "After much deliberation the unanimous choice was Dennis Wise and his assistant Gus Poyet," Bates declared. "I am aware that he may not be everybody's cup of tea but this is not a popularity contest. It is a question of the right man to resolve a serious situation." Leeds have made an appalling start to the season so far, after Kevin Blackwell and then caretaker manager John Carver both failed to lift the team out of their slump. Carver has now left the club following the 5-1 defeat at Luton Town on Saturday as reserve team boss Dave Geddis takes charge for the Southend tie. Leeds currently stand 23rd in the Championship, just a point clear of bottom side Hull City, and will welcome the Shrimpers back to Elland Road on Saturday, for Wise's first official game at the helm. -- 竟然跑去里茲，那也沒什麼好說的了 "We got 2 words for Leeds......"
